If you boot Parted Magic with grub4dos iso emulation without adding the iso_location= parameter:

You can place the iso everywhere on a CD or DVD (don't rename it).

If you are booting from a flash drive or a hard disk, you can place the iso in (don't rename it):

/
/pmagic/
/images/

The following grub4dos entry works:EDIT: removed one method, due complaints of jaclaz .

Loads the grub4dos menu from the iso with the grub4dos version that you have on your own CD/DVD/USB/HDD (use configfile /grub4dos.lst or configfile /menu.lst: contains the same contents now, can change in the future):

I don't understand at all the first, as said it is NOT the right way, you load a loader to load a loader it should be simply entirely striken and forgotten about.It could well confuse some of the less experienced users - and, as usually happens with "not right" things - spread quickly.

The second works allright, and it's the simplest one, without need to change anything if not the .iso name. (from pmagic-grub4dos-3.4.iso to pmagic-3.4.iso)

The third (external .lst) doesn't make much sense as well to me, what is the need to further hardcode the location of the .iso?

//pmagic//images/

seem to me all "normal" and "logical" places where to put the .iso.

Since practically all "kernel" lines need to be changed beside the first two, it would be easier to post a few lines of advice on the pmagic site:

for use with grub4dos as .iso file mapped to (hd32) .iso file NEEDS to be named "pmagic-3.4.iso"

I will change it. But you are speaking against yourself with "NOT the right way, you load a loader to load a loader". Mounting an iso (with grub4dos) to mount it again with linux is also NOT the right way .

It makes it also very easy to change the keyboard layout (keymap). This is an option that more users want.

yep, but quite handy, you might notice how the whole process is in the "good " way with .iso mapping: "you load a loader (grub4dos) to load a kernel inside a .iso"in the "wrong" way:"you load a loader (grub4dos) to load a loader (grub4dos again) to load a kernel inside a .iso"

Wrong, it is already named pmagic-3.4.iso.

Right , edited post above.
